Cherry Kiss Christmas Mice cookies

I think I've found some mice that my mother and Roc will like!

You will need:
-Chocolate kisses (macadamia nut ones are the best, but if you don't have a really nice friend in Hawaii to send them to you, then boring regular ones will do! :) )
-Oreo cookies (or any other flat cookie for that matter)
-Maraschino Cherries (drained and patted dry) with stems or without
-string licorice (any colour) if you can't find cherries with stems.
-sliced almonds
-decorations
-coloured icing
-chocolate chips or chocolate candy melting wafers
-parafin or shortening

For about 2 dozen mice

1.Melt 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips and parafin (or 1 tbsp shortening) in a double boiler or microwave.

2.Dip top of cookie into chocolate, place and sprinkle on a few candy decorations.

3.If using a cherry with a stem, hold the stem and dip the cherry into the chocolate until well covered.
If using a stemless cherry, use a toothpick to dip the cherry into the chocolate. Keep track of where the hole in the cherry is as you will be using that hole to insert the licorice tail.

4.Place the cherry on the chocolate covered cookie, immediately place a chocolate kiss next to the cherry and gently push them together.

5. If using licorice, insert into hole in mouse and bring tail around to side of mouse and gently push into chocolate on cookie to hold it in place.

6. Insert two sliced almonds between the kiss and the cherry to make the ears.

7.Using some icing, make two eyes on kiss and add a nose if you'd like!

8. Chill until set.

What a cute video! Someone brought these into my office Christmas party and I was so inspired that I decided I'd like to try and make with my niece this weekend!

@DJSeannie0 Great! I hope they turn out okay.

@xxmidorifarmerxx You could use any kind of round candy

@yoyomax12 They turned out great! We used cherries with stems and skipped the cookie mount, and the project couldn't have been simpler. My niece loved them too, but somehow she didn't want to let anyone EAT any of them! Ha!
